题目内容

3.阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.
Weaving hammocks(吊床)is an art that takes a sharp eye,a skilled hand and lots of patience.But in Lenwood Haddock's case,being blind works to his advantage.His trained,sensitive hands are acutely aware of every step of the complex process.Since beginning his work in 1986,Lenwood has woven about 145,000 perfect hammocks.
Now 61,Lenwood lost his sight in 1973,at age 18,during a hunting accident."My whole working career has been blind,"he says.He first found a job as a woodworker,but when that organization closed,he was connected him with Hatteras Hammocks.
On his first day of work,"I did a total of one hammock,"Lenwood recalls,laughing."And then I came home and laid on the couch and went to sleep.I lift weights,but I wasn't as tough as I thought until I started weaving.It takes a lot of energy,and you're standing up all day."
In time,however,Lenwood got into a good working rhythm and found he had a knack for the job.At first he worked at the company,but after a year Lenwood moved his operation to the home workshop where he'd worked for 10 years during his woodworking days.
He creates dozons of hammocks each week in a variety of sizes.One day,he realized the step counter on his phone recorded him walking eight miles without ever leaving his shop.
The process of weaving a hammock involves making and catching hundreds of loops.A single missed stitch(针) creates a hole that can widen and make the hammock uncomfortable or even dangerous to use.Experienced weavers miss loops sometimes,but to his company's knowledge,Lenwood has never turned in a hammock with even one dropped stitch.
With every hammock,Lenwood devotes himself to producing perfection."I'm not sure how sighted people do it,"he admits.

56.What made Lenwood Haddock's weaving hammocks special?(No more than 2 words)Being blind.Or His blindness.
57.How did Lenwood Haddock feel after his first day of work?(No more than 10 words)He was very tired.Or He felt very tired.
58.What will happen if a single stitch is missed?(No more than 15 words)This will make the hammock uncomfortable or even dangerous to use.
59.What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4?(No more than 8 words)He got the trick of weaving hammocks.Or He had a way/skill of doing the job.
60.What qualities does Lenwood Haddock have?And how do they affect you?(No more than 25 words)Devotion,perfection,strictness and so on.These qualities are valuable to me.I will try my best to learn to be devoted,perfect and strict in everything with myself..

分析 本文叙述了因故双目失明的美国人Lenwood自强自立的励志故事.

解答 56.Being blind.Or His blindness.细节题.根据第一段的内容But in Lenwood Haddock's case,being blind works to his advantage可知,Lenwood是一个盲人,所以对他来说吊床显得很特殊.
57.He was very tired.Or He felt very tired.细节题.根据It takes a lot of energy,and you're standing up all day."这句话可知,训练 花了很大的精力,而且站了一整天,所以很疲惫.
58.This will make the hammock uncomfortable or even dangerous to use.细节题.在最后一段A single missed stitch(针) creates a hole that can widen and make the hammock uncomfortable or even dangerous to use.这句话告诉我们缺少一根针会带来危险.
59.He got the trick of weaving hammocks.Or He had a way/skill of doing the job.细节推理题.根据第四段Lenwood got into a good working rhythm 告诉我们Lenwood 有很好的工作节奏,掌握了吊床的技巧.
60.Devotion,perfection,strictness and so on.These qualities are valuable to me.I will try my best to learn to be devoted,perfect and strict in everything with myself.归纳推理题.最后一段Lenwood devotes himself to producing perfection可以推出他是一个奉献、追求完美、严格的人.

14.Scientists have been trying to make soft and friendly robots,like Disney's Baymax,for years.
And they have finally done it.
The"Octobot"is the world's first soft robot.It is not like the scary,metal robots in movies
like Star Wars or The Terminator.Instead,it is made of soft material,and looks just like an
octopus (章鱼).
The Octobot is also the first soft robot that controls itself without batteries or wires,according
to its researchers at Harvard University in the US.
The hope is that one day,soft robots like this will help humans do difficult medical surgery
and save lives in emergencies like earthquakes and storms.
Scientists have been trying for years to make soft robots that are safe around humans,but this
is the first time it has happened.It means that humans won't be in danger of being hurt if the robot
accidentally touches you too hard.
The Octobot gets power from a chemical reaction.It pushes gas through the robot's body and
makes its legs dance.
They used a 3.D printer to create its silicone (硅酮) body.
"Humans ourselves,we're very soft and soft robots are made of materials that are safe for us
to interact with,"PhD student Ryan Truby,one of the Octobot researchers,said.
Barry Trimmer,the editor?in?chief of Soft Robotics,said that,"Soft robots and soft material
technologies are definitely needed if we expect them to help us in the home or in natural
environments."
They may not all look like an octopus in the future,though.Scientists have studied jellyfish
and even cockroaches in their research so far.

64.What is the Octobot?(不多于5 个单词)The world's first soft robot.
65.How will soft robots help humans?(不多于9 个单词)Do difficult medical surgery and save lives in emergencies.
66.How does the Octobot get power?(不多于4 个单词)From a chemical reaction.
67.In what ways is the Octobot different from other robots?(不多于10 个单词)It's soft and controls itself without batteries or wires..
11.The weather affects many aspects of people's daily life.Knowing and understanding what the weather is doing is useful.
    However,the weather is also one of the most unpredictable elements in the world.Although many people watch the morning news and gather the information about the weather,this is often wrong.Whole days can be ruined by believing that the weather will be one thing,when it turns out to be another.However,owning wireless weather stations allows the owners to monitor the weather for themselves.
    Not only will these weather stations allow the owners to see what the weather is doing,but it is personalized to them and their area.Wireless weather stations are specifically prepared for the immediate neighborhood.Plans will be able to be made,and important decisions will no longer be ruined by bad weather.
    Although these weather stations are typically seen in homes,they can also be used very easily on farms and fishing boats.Both farmers and fishermen rely on the weather for their business and using up-to-date weather information is quite indispensable.By using the wireless weather stations,it can determine for them when to harvest crops and head back to the shore.Due to the size of the weather stations,they can be moved very easily and used wherever is necessary for people.
    The wireless weather stations are great for all homes,especially for areas that suffer from extreme weather conditions.
    The up-to-date,instant weather reports will allow a person to monitor what the weather is doing and if the bad weather is heading in their direction.Extreme weather tends to come very quickly,therefore,any information that is received is helpful.
    The weather stations are very simple to set up and are run by solar panels(太阳能电池板),ensuring they will work even if there is a power cut.They are far smaller than those in previous years and give a couple of very simple read-outs for the owner.They are easy to use and fascinating to understand.

A.Essential     
B.Indifferent     
C.Attractive      
D.Impossible
48.What can we learn about a wireless weather station?D
A.The information it provides is slow but more specific.
B.It is hard to set up but can be moved from one place to another.
C.It is economical and saves money in the long run.
D.It can continue to work even if there is a power failure.
49.From the passage,we knowD.
A.it's hard to apply the weather stations to farms and fishing boats now
B.people never considered weather when making plans and important decisions
C.children,unlike adults,learned more about the weather and environment
D.bad and unexpected weather brought great trouble to people's daily life
50.What's the main idea of the text?B
A.The weather and its effects on people's daily life.
B.Good reasons for having wireless weather stations.
C.The weather--the most unpredictable element in the world.

8.Let us consider what we can do for the food problem.
The simple way to increase food production,one might suppose,is to bring more land into farmland and put more people to work on it.
But it is proved in some developing countries that this will bring some problems.It will quickly make the soil poorer and destroy forest growth.Furthermore,the people there will always find they need more people to work on this land to produce more food.
During the past twenty years,some developing countries ave increased a lot more farmland in their countries,but their populations have in the meantime grown faster,therefore,they are further behind than before.And their food increase has been gained at the cost of using up the rich lands.Many of the lands have become poor lands and are producing less food now.
Meanwhile,farming in the developed countries has produced much more food through improved technology.Since 1940,farmland has been reduced by 7percent in the United States but grain production has jumped by 60percent.The increase in the corn output,thanks to hybrid corn,hasbeen even greater.
The"secret"is to apply fertilizer,in scientific ways,of course.And compared to the developing countries,the populations in developed countries have increased just a little larger than twenty years ago.
On the whole,world population today is increasing at the speed higher than ever before.Every year the population is two percent larger,so that the 6,000,000,000people on the earth today will present another 120,000,000mouths to be fed by the time next year.It is a fearsome thought that this time tomorrow there will be about 330,000persons added to this world population.
What can we do about the increase population or the lack of food to feed such a large,growing population?That's a very important problem before everyone on the earth,young or old,men or women.
32.In the author's opinion,B seems to be the most serious problem today.
A.pollution               
B.lack of food
C.poor farmland           
D.the increase of world population
33.According to the text,we can conclude thatC.
A.the growth of farmland in developing countriesis faster than that of their population.
B.the populations in developed countries have increased a little larger than that in developing countries twenty years ago.
C.technology in farming is helpful in producing a lot more food in developd countries.
D.developing countries have settled their food problem thanks to the increase of farmland in the past two decaes.
34.The author seems to suggest that the food problem cannot be settled unlessB.
A.we stop getting more land into farmland      
B.birth rate is reduced.
C.pollution is stopped                       
D.fertilizer is used in a scientific way.
35.The best title for this passage should be"C".
A.More people feed on less food        
B.The population problem
C.How to deal with the food problem     
D.Science and technology in food production.
